REVIEW: What a fascinating story! This vividly-written, gorgeously illustrated picture book biography brings to life the personality and amazing accomplishments of the astonishing 19th century female mathematician who conceived of the idea of computer programming long before there were even computers and is literally the “mother of computer science.” I can’t wait to share it with my students!
— Carol Simon Levin, Youth Services Librarian and Historical Impersonator of “Fascinating Women History Forgot”
